DOCTRINE(wHAT we believe)

Introduction

It is our desire to be thoroughly biblical in every aspect of our lives. Therefore our purpose, methods, and goals must be derived from sound, biblical teaching within the Scriptures, and not from secular culture and marketing schemes. We reject the modern concept that biblical goals can be achieved by man-centered, man-empowered methods. Our theology must determine our methodology, and in fact it will. What a person believes, their doctrine and theology, will be clearly seen by the methods which they use to evangelize and communicate the gospel. The shallow man-made methods of evangelism so commonly used today simply reveal the true theology and beliefs of the people using them. We desire to focus on the passionate preaching of the great doctrines of Scripture that are being neglected in today's professing church: the cross, regeneration, biblical conversion, justification, sanctification and so on. We are convinced that no doctrine is more neglected or misunderstood in the church today than the doctrine of conversion. Easy believism, decisionism, manipulative altar calls and "sinner's prayers" have replaced the sound preaching of the gospel which calls sinners to repentance towards God and faith and in Jesus Christ, and submission to Christ's Lordship. The sad result of this is an unregenerate and unconverted church membership, which results in multitudes of people believing themselves to be saved when in fact they are yet on the road to Hell.

We believe that it is unwise and unbiblical to make the church, missions, and evangelism a common ground for professing believers of diverse or undefined doctrinal viewpoints (i.e., interdenominational). The full counsel of God must be the only thing that unites believers together, and to an even greater degree in missions. Since missions is the main means of communicating the Gospel to the nations, biblical doctrine is primary, necessary, and essential. Any church or missionary that does not concern themselves with sound biblical doctrine, or whom generalizes or minimizes their doctrine in order to maintain fellowship or unity with other professing Christian's has lost its purpose and possibly its soul (Mark 8:36).

"The world lives in a time of crisis. Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try to live as if things were normal." A.W. Tozer“Answering a student's question, 'Will the heathen who have not heard the Gospel be saved?' thus, 'It is more a question with me whether we who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, can be saved.'” Charles Spurgeon
